Yesterday, I told you that they tried to get Derrek Lee out of retirement, but it didn’t end there. The Yankees also checked in with Chipper Jones and Scott Rolen to see if they could convince them to lace em up one more time.

Brian Cashman called the agent for Chipper, who apparently got a good chuckle out of the call, but it doesn’t sound like he’s interested in returning. As a 40-year-old, Jones hit .287/.377/.455 last season.

As for Rolen, he turned down $4 million offers by both the Reds and Dodgers. It’s possible he could still come out of retirement, but he wants guaranteed playing time and money and that’s just not going to happen with the Yankees. Rolen hit just .245/.318/.398 in his age 37 season last year.

This shows how desperate Brian Cashman really is and could potentially be a sign that Teixeira’s injury is worse than they’ve let on.

• Michael Pineda is expected to throw a 35-pitch bullpen session today that will include sliders. Anytime someone coming off shoulder surgery does that it’s a big deal. Let’s hope for no setbacks today.
